DESCRIPTION:
Charlie Eriksen has discovered a vulnerability in the Quotes
Collection plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to conduct script insertion attacks
by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web
site.

also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.5.6.
